RUSH: First quarter economic growth was revised downward to 1.9%. Corporate profits had the worst quarter in three years. That\u2019s why there isn\u2019t any new hiring. Economic growth was revised downward. I think they reported it at 1.1%. It\u2019s now been revised down to 1.9%. That\u2019s economic growth. And corporate profits had their worst quarter in the first quarter in three years. Now, that\u2019s a success story for Obama. You know when he talks about “profits” he spits the word out.<\/p>\n

Liberals hate profits because they don\u2019t understand them, and they think they\u2019re evil. They think profit results from screwing people, cheating people, stealing. They haven\u2019t the slightest concept of it. So they\u2019re happy with this. I\u2019m sorry, the number was 2.2%. “The advanced report a month ago said that the first quarter annualized growth rate would be at 2.2%, which was down from the fourth quarter last year at 3%.” So we\u2019ve gone from 3% growth to 1.9% growth. Would somebody explain to me…?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m serious, now, about this. Would somebody explain to me how Obama\u2019s poll numbers are as high as they are? Honestly, now. I don\u2019t care about likability, popularity, approval. With circumstances as they are — with Obama not the cool, calm, collected guy everybody thought he was — I don\u2019t get the likability. Somebody explain to me why his numbers are so high. I think the media is public polling itself. I think these approval numbers, these likability numbers, mean the media is polling itself. I think that\u2019s the only way. Or maybe they\u2019re polling at Zabar\u2019s on the Upper West Side or in SoHo. I know they\u2019re oversampling Democrats. They have to be doing that.<\/p>\n

Romney. I have to tell you something about Romney. I meant to mention this yesterday. We played for you the CNN sound bites of Wolf Blitzer<\/a>. After a pre-interview with Trump in which Trump was not told they\u2019re gonna be asking him birther questions, that interview was total birthers questions.<\/p>\n

And then that set up the media all day yesterday with the narrative, the template: “On the big day that Romney finally secures the Republican nomination, he\u2019s overshadowed by Trump\u2019s birther talk.” And that\u2019s all the media did all day yesterday was talk about that. And then the media and the Democrats did what they always do. They started demanding of Romney that he denounce Trump, and then they threw my name<\/a> in there for good measure.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s always the way it is. It\u2019s always the way it is. Republicans are always told they have to repudiate this person; they have to apologize for that person. And Romney didn\u2019t do it! And this needs to be pointed out and noted. I know that there are a lot of people still unhappy with Romney. Establishment candidate, moderate, not really conservative. I understand all that. But I\u2019m telling you, this is not the McCain campaign. McCain, had the left demanded that he distance himself from Trump, not only would have distanced himself from Trump.<\/p>\n

<\/a>But he woulda gone public and kicked Trump out of his campaign. And Romney did not do that. Romney did something else. There\u2019s a tweet here from Mitt Romney central. “Romney supporters drown out Axelrod press conference in Boston, shouting, ‘Five more months! Five more months!'” Axelrod is showing up everywhere. And he was in Boston at a press conference, and Romney voters showed up and shouted him down, “Five more months! Five more months!” meaning: Until we\u2019re finished with you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So Axelrod shows up in Boston, and he\u2019s up there for Elizabeth Warren. By the way, is that not the strangest campaign? This is descending or deteriorating into the weirdest story. Now she says she was the first… Let\u2019s see if I understand this. Elizabeth Warren says she was the first Indian law professor to breast-feed at school or something like that. Maybe she didn\u2019t say first Cherokee, but why is this woman still a viable candidate?<\/p>\n

Why is this woman still polling with one person willing to vote for her? This woman is literally deranged <\/a>just by virtue of the things that she is saying. Anyway, Axelrod shows up in Boston for her. He had big press conference for Obama. And the protesters are out there shouting, “Five more months! Five more months!” They also were shouting at Axelrod, “Where are the jobs? Where are the jobs?”<\/p>\n

And Axelrod yelled back at \u2019em, “You can\u2019t handle the truth!”<\/p>\n

Imagine somebody from the Obama regime telling people they can\u2019t handle the truth! <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: My friends, it\u2019s really bad out there for the regime. It really is. Axelrod\u2019s in Boston. We\u2019ve got some audio of this. Axelrod — who\u2019s everywhere. Do you realize…? Maybe you don\u2019t. The New York Times has this big story on the bravery and the involvement and the hands-on leadership of Barack Obama when it comes to killing terrorists. “The Kill List,” as it\u2019s called. The names of the bad guys that our drones in the sky are supposed to wipe out.<\/p>\n

And the story is that Obama is in there personally signing off on the names of the terrorists to be wiped out by the drones. He\u2019s competent! He\u2019s involved! He cares! He\u2019s smart! He\u2019s tough! He doesn\u2019t take any guff from anybody! Barack Obama: He\u2019s the guy. (It really is a pathetic story.) If you have to tell people that the President of the United States is involved in something like the War on Terror, then there must be some question about it, otherwise why do the story?<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t most people assume the president is involved in something like this? Maybe not, because the New York Times has to big, long story. Even Axelrod\u2019s in the room! Axelrod is helping Obama pick the names. He\u2019s everywhere. And so is Plouffe, the campaign guy. And a lot of people are wondering, is Obama really doing anything, or is it these other two guys making all the decisions and writing the stuff for him to say on the prompter? At any rate, here\u2019s Axelrod. He was in Boston this morning — in Boston! — when this happened! Listen.<\/p>\n

AXELROD: Romney economics didn\u2019t work then, and it won\u2019t work now.<\/line><\/p>\n

FOLLOWERS: (screeching cheers) (applause)<\/p>\n

AXELROD: And with that I… If, uhhh…<\/p>\n

PROTESTERS: (chanting) Where are the jobs?<\/p>\n

AXELROD: If there are members of the news media who want to address questions to us, uhhh, who wanna contend with it, we\u2019ll, uhh… We\u2019re happy to entertain them.<\/p>\n

PROTESTERS: (chanting) Where are the jobs? Where are the jobs? Where are the jobs?<\/p>\n

AXELROD: You can\u2019t handle the truth, my friends. That\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n

PROTESTERS: (chanting) Five more months! Five more months!<\/p>\n

AXELROD: You can\u2019t handle the truth. You quiet down.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the way to run the campaign. So you got — in Boston! — anti-Obama, anti-Axelrod protestors show up. “Where are the jobs? Where are the jobs? Five more months! Where are the jobs?” Axelrod: “You can\u2019t handle the truth, my friends. That\u2019s the problem. You can\u2019t handle the truth. You quiet down.” Exactly as a statist, exactly as somebody works for a would-be dictator would look at the crowd: You shut up! “You can\u2019t handle the truth!”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the little things.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Obama\u2019s chief adviser, and these are voters. These are American citizens. They are attacked and insulted by the president\u2019s guy. “You can\u2019t handle the truth. That\u2019s the problem. You can\u2019t handle the truth. You quiet down!” I just wanted you to hear it for yourself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
